Rebel News Podcast - DAILY ｜ Two weeks to honk for freedom

00:00:00.000 Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, you have tuned into the Rebel News live stream

00:00:21.440 on this Thursday, February 3rd, 2020. I'm David Menzies and my co-host, let me tell you about

00:00:29.320 my co-host, folks. This might be the year of the tiger, but 24-7, she's got the eye of the tiger. 0.68

00:00:36.720 She is the she-devil with a sword. She is the Khaleesi of Northern Alberta. She is my dear 1.00

00:00:43.940 friend, Sheila Gunn-Reed. How are you doing there, Sheila? David, I'm doing well. Thank you so much

00:00:49.540 for asking. I do sound a little plugged up, but nobody worry. It's not the Kron. It's not the Kron.

00:00:55.560 Don't worry. Before we get too far into the weeds, I should let everybody know that we're

00:01:00.480 going to actually, instead of going long, like how we normally do, we're going to cut off a little

00:01:05.080 bit early because we are going to go live to the live stream of the organizers of the truck convoy

00:01:11.860 in Ottawa. They're hosting a press conference, so we're going to cut off to make sure that we don't

00:01:16.740 miss that because the mainstream media is going to tell you what happened. We want to exactly show

00:01:22.700 you. So you can, you know, like believe your own lying eyes and not the CTV. So that's what

00:01:27.540 we're going to do. So we'll try to keep the show a little tidy today. Gotcha. And by the way,

00:01:31.900 that is the same mainstream media that are embedded with law enforcement, whereas we are the ones

00:01:37.560 embedded with the actual truckers. I guess the mainstream, the CBC types, they don't want to get

00:01:43.180 too up close and personable with the deplorables, right, Sheila?

00:01:48.080 Yeah, they've got it in their head that this truck convoy that descended on Ottawa like seven

00:01:53.560 days ago now is somehow violent, but we can't seem to find the violence. But if this were Black 0.99

00:01:58.780 Lives Matter and they descended on a city for seven days, it would be just rubble and ash and

00:02:03.840 destruction. Yeah. And, you know, and to show you how nonviolent they are, there's that fantastic

00:02:09.640 clip that Lincoln J shot. He's still in Ottawa, folks, along with Alexa, where, you know, it was a

00:02:15.500 counter-demonstrator. I think we talked about this briefly on Tuesday and he had, it was a profane

00:02:20.220 sign saying, I think, some theme of white supremacy. And it was such a thing of beauty because a visible 0.68

00:02:28.760 minority man, maybe he was Hindu or Sikh, comes in and basically says, reads him the Riot Act. You 0.99

00:02:34.400 don't know what you're talking about. But what I'm getting at, Sheila, is the fact that

00:02:39.240 this man, as far as I could tell, even with his profane, ridiculous sign, was not molested in any 0.86

00:02:49.140 fashion. And I could only imagine if a counter, a solo counter-protester went to BLM or an Antifa 0.78

00:02:56.740 rally, even us as reporters with no dog in the race, how we're treated. It's with a physical assault.

00:03:03.500 So where's the danger? Yeah, even the left knows there's no danger, right? Because if they thought

00:03:10.740 it was dangerous, those, you know, weak undersoyed or oversoyed under-proteined individuals would not

00:03:17.220 be able to go into a protest of truckers if they thought, you know, 100,000 truckers and their closest

00:03:23.240 friends were violent. We should tell everybody, though, where we're streaming today because we have

00:03:28.020 an additional place that we're streaming. So we, yeah, we stream on YouTube up until such time as

00:03:34.000 we talk about things that YouTube says that we're not allowed to talk about. And that's when we cut

00:03:37.720 the YouTube feed off. So if you are one of those one point, roughly 1.6 million YouTube sets of eyes

00:03:44.660 watching us, when we cut off the YouTube feed, why don't you join us on one of these other platforms

00:03:48.600 like Odyssey, Rumble and SuperU. Those are neutral platforms. They're free speech platforms and they don't

00:03:55.240 care about your politics and I don't care about theirs. And so far, so good over there. And those

00:03:59.520 three platforms allow you the opportunity to support us through a Rumble rant, an Odyssey hyperchat,

00:04:07.520 or a SuperU shout. And if you send us one of those, we will read your question, query, comment,

00:04:13.640 or story idea on air and David or myself will do our very best to address it. But we also have another

00:04:19.240 platform. So this is five in total that we're streaming on right now. We're on Getter. So that's

00:04:25.220 also the free speech alternative to the censorship platform of Twitter. And we're live streaming

00:04:30.360 there. So if you're tuning into us on Getter, hey, nice to see you. This is my first time streaming

00:04:34.880 over there. I hope you appreciate the show. And what is a Getter Super Chat called, Sheila?

00:04:40.920 Oh, we don't. We can't Getter any of those yet. Oh, we don't. Okay. Boy, lots to remember. And I think

00:04:50.020 most of the show today is going to be YouTube friendly for a change. And I guess why don't

00:04:55.900 we just get to the top of the order, front page probably in every Canadian newspaper.

00:05:02.020 Here's the Toronto Sun, no tool. Or as his speech would have indicated, oh, tool me once,

00:05:11.160 shame on you. Oh, tool me twice, shame on me. Sheila, that, what we saw unfold yesterday afternoon,

00:05:18.720 that desperate man with that desperate speech begging for another chance and totally tone deaf

00:05:26.640 to the irony. Basically, I'm paraphrasing now, but saying to the caucus in the Conservative Party

00:05:32.800 of Canada, I can change. I can be more like you. And not realizing that it's this flip-flop

00:05:42.800 attitude of his that put him in this predicament, you know, once and for all. And, you know, Sheila,

00:05:51.800 we have Candace Bergen named as interim leader. I guess the race is now on to see who's going to be

00:06:00.400 the bona fide leader moving forward.

00:06:03.280 Who's going to lose to Paulyev? Is that, like, that's what we're, that's what we're testing out

00:06:10.140 here. Who's going to lose to Pierre Paulyev? Yeah. Aaron O'Toole, he, in the span of about 24

00:06:16.380 hours, he flip-flopped again, even while he's begging for his leadership. He went from, I'm not

00:06:22.920 backing down. This is who I am. I've got the support of the people. I've got the support of

00:06:26.900 caucus to, oh, I'm sorry, I'll change. I'll get it right this time. Not the last time. And not the

00:06:34.780 time before that, but I'm going to get it right this time and you can trust me on it. No. The party

00:06:39.760 was right to toss him out as leader. I hope he resigns as MP too. I don't think that's going to

00:06:45.440 happen. I think he issued a statement that he will follow the new leader. I think at this point,

00:06:51.820 he just wants the salary, Sheila. And maybe the good folks of Durham, Ontario might send him a

00:06:58.220 message come the next election, whenever that is, probably in the space of 18 to 24 months. That's

00:07:04.200 typically the best before date of a minority government in Canada. And that played a role in

00:07:11.140 this, Sheila, because that ludicrous idea that we were going to wait till 2023 for any kind of

00:07:18.240 leadership review. Like when we're on virtually the cusp of an election, I think that was a strategic

00:07:23.720 ploy by Erin O'Toole, Sheila. It was like, hey, listen, we can't switch leaders right now. They just

00:07:29.980 dropped the writ, right? Oh my goodness. It was. And you know, is it too much to ask for whoever is going

00:07:37.660 to be the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada? How about this? If you're going to say

00:07:43.320 you're a true blue Conservative, could you please not flip-flop to a red Tory once you get elected?

00:07:50.460 We saw this federal and provincially. Patrick Brown, Doug Ford, Erin O'Toole, Andrew Scheer,

00:07:58.040 the list goes on. They keep advertising themselves of something they're not when they need support.

00:08:06.440 And once they get power, they do this, you know, flip, Sheila. I'm getting a little tired of this act.

00:08:11.960 Yeah. Like liberals will just vote for Justin Trudeau. They're not going to vote for Erin O'Toole,

00:08:18.200 who has the same policies. You know, when he's like, oh, it's my carbon tax isn't a carbon tax. It's

00:08:24.340 a levy. Yeah, that's exactly what Rachel Notley called it. And when you were the Conservative,

00:08:29.220 when you were just a run-of-the-mill Conservative MP, you opposed it and you opposed those word games.

00:08:34.860 But then when you get empowered, those word games are perfectly fine.

00:08:37.480 I just, I'm just so glad he's gone. Hopefully the party can heal. They can be invigorated

00:08:44.060 by both a change in leadership, but also this groundswell of anti-Trudeau support

00:08:49.320 for the convoy. Because really the convoy is the anti-Trudeau vehicle right now. It's the

00:08:56.080 anti-lockdown vehicle. And hopefully the party, like, may adopt Ralph Klein's motto of see where

00:09:02.580 the parade is marching and just jump in front of it and lead it. It's time to do that.

00:09:05.880 You know, Sheila, I'm so glad you mentioned the trucker convoy in Ottawa because I truly believe,

00:09:12.080 and I know there are a legion of people that believe this, although the mainstream media is

00:09:16.380 mocking this view, that this was indeed the catalyst that got O'Toole out. And, you know,

00:09:23.140 it's so shameful. Sheila, yesterday afternoon on CFRB Talk Radio in Toronto, I was listening to the

00:09:29.920 Evan Solomon show and he had a round table and there were even Conservative commentators on that.

00:09:35.880 And the mocking attitude, it was unanimous, by the way, that, oh yeah, the trucker convoy,

00:09:42.940 they're saying we're the reason for O'Toole resigning. Oh, and by the way, said one in a

00:09:47.840 mocking tone, the trucker convoy also claimed responsibility for the warmer weather that has

00:09:56.360 descended in Ottawa too. It was just so shameful. But I think that if you look at the timeline,

00:10:04.420 this was the thing. And I think also, Sheila, that Aaron O'Toole blew an opportunity to set the record

00:10:13.020 straight. If he went out and met with the truckers and if he echoed the phrase of Tucker Carlson on Fox

00:10:21.020 News, that you are alive because of a trucker. Truckers are why there are groceries in the

00:10:27.280 supermarket. Truckers are why there's medicine in the pharmacy. And he came out, because right now,

00:10:32.460 Sheila, I still don't know if Aaron O'Toole is pro or anti-trucker. And that is the problem.

00:10:39.200 Right. And echoing that sentiment, this is one of our stories we want to talk about today,

00:10:46.720 Restaurants Canada, they're complaining. And it's funny because you and I shared a text message

00:10:52.540 earlier today regarding this. So Restaurants Canada, they're saying Ottawa's in trouble

00:10:57.720 because they're too scared. The restaurants are too scared to open their doors to feed these

00:11:04.020 truckers who have not committed any violence, by the way. So restaurant operators in Ottawa's

00:11:08.240 downtown core have been instructed to remain closed. For many Ottawa restaurants and other

00:11:13.420 businesses, their right to reopen has now been delayed by ongoing disruptive protests. Oh, so

00:11:17.900 the right to reopen wasn't delayed by the government literally closing them to customers. It's delayed

00:11:25.780 by the protesters who want them to open, who want to be able to go into your restaurant and spend money

00:11:31.160 there. They're not violent. You've got a week's worth of data on that. So open your doors and let

00:11:35.580 them in. And you know, like, I can't get over after a terrible two years in the hospitality industry

00:11:43.000 that these, this industry group complainers, because they don't represent, they're the lobby

00:11:48.920 group. They don't actually represent the like mom and pop small business group. These are the guys who

00:11:53.800 go jangle for pen for handouts from Justin Trudeau. But you've got 100,000 people descended on your city

00:12:01.060 after being like an economic wasteland for two years. Why are you complaining? Open your doors

00:12:06.240 and serve them. You tried to get a hotel room in Calgary or in Ottawa. How did that go?

00:12:10.980 Indeed, it's very difficult. And Sheila, I got to tell you, in another life for seven years,

00:12:18.160 I covered the food service industry for a few trade magazines. And I can tell you Restaurants Canada,

00:12:23.740 which used to be called the Canadian Restaurant and Food Services Association, and then they rebranded

00:12:29.060 themselves. They used to go up against government. One clear example, when the GST came in, they had

00:12:36.260 this huge campaign, and they had merit in their efforts, showing that the very same product bought

00:12:43.060 at a restaurant is subject to GST. Whereas if you bought that identical product in a supermarket,

00:12:48.560 it is GST free. It's an unfair, unlevel playing field. The point is, they went up against government.

00:12:55.260 Now they are donkeys for the government. They're basically implying or copying the Trudeau narrative

00:13:04.620 that it's so dangerous in Ottawa with all these horrible deplorables and white supremacists there 0.89

00:13:11.300 that our members are dying on the vine. Like you said, if any of these restaurants opened up, 0.59

00:13:18.460 they're packed to the rafters. Well, that's not true because of our premier.

00:13:22.200 They're 50% packed to the rafters. And where was Restaurants Canada a year and a bit ago, Sheila,

00:13:31.280 when Adam Skelly opened up in defiance of the government? They were nowhere to be found.

00:13:38.700 And I'm mad if you asked them, they would say, well, yeah, yeah, we can't get behind a rule breaker

00:13:43.100 or civil disobedience like that. That's not the kind of cat we are anymore. So shame on them.

00:13:48.660 And by the way, I want to expose another lie. Some of these restaurateurs or the people speaking for

00:13:54.480 them are saying, there's just nowhere for our clients to park. The downtown is gridlocked. The

00:14:01.040 parking lots are full. Did you see those videos, Sheila? The streets were filled with more than 100,000

00:14:08.480 people who got hungry. You don't need parking. They would have just opened your door and there'd be

00:14:15.740 dozens of people falling through it. So it's all a lie. It's all another narrative to demonize

00:14:22.640 the truckers and their supporters.

00:14:25.740 It absolutely is. And I was just looking back to see

00:14:28.640 AD Ezra had a tweet that linked to just how restaurants... Oh, here it is.

00:14:36.600 Restaurants Canada. Ezra tweeted it four hours ago. These guys are on the take too.

00:14:41.500 The Meat Council of Canada the other day coming out complaining about the blockade at

00:14:46.500 Coutts, which we will talk about in a minute. Those guys are on the take to the tune of a 0.68

00:14:51.400 million bucks from Justin Trudeau. And Restaurants Canada, same thing. They're on the take.

00:14:57.980 Let's have a look here. Restaurants Canada. They got $70,000 between November of 2020 and April

00:15:08.000 30th of 2021. And it is... Yeah. So of course they're coming out. And there's more. Another

00:15:14.780 $50,000 in 2018. Like it just goes on and on. These guys, every time you see a lobby group come

00:15:22.660 out in support of lockdowns, just go and search on opencanada.gc.ca and you should be able to find

00:15:30.920 whatever grant that they got from Justin Trudeau to curry their favour.

00:15:34.400 This is the CBC-ification of the entire economy. That's what it is.

00:15:41.040 Sheila, is there any lobby group in that town that isn't getting greased by the Trudeau Liberals?

00:15:46.280 And by the way, speaking of lobby groups and associations, and this also speaks to O'Toole

00:15:52.220 and his devious and deceptive way of dealing with hard questions. When he was asked last week,

00:15:59.880 it was one of the press conferences, why aren't you going out to meet with the truckers? And he said,

00:16:05.560 well, I'm paraphrasing here, folks. Well, that's not true. I've reached out on several occasions to

00:16:10.640 the Canadian Trucking Association. They don't represent those truckers there.

00:16:15.840 The lobby group?

00:16:16.120 Yes. They're all about the corporate interests. But you know what? But Sheila, it was too cute by 0.76

00:16:23.040 half because a lot of people who might not know that, and you know, you can't, because I mean,

00:16:28.080 if you were told me, hey, there's an association called the Canadian Trucker Association,

00:16:33.720 I would assume they were the, that's the guys speaking out for the truckers. And it's a,

00:16:40.200 it's a completely logical assumption. But the fact of the matter is, that isn't it. So it was

00:16:46.620 again, O'Toole trying to fool people, right? It's funny how fool and O'Toole rhyme, isn't it? But he 0.77

00:16:53.560 was trying to fool people that he was indeed reaching out to the convoy when nothing could be

00:17:00.360 further from the truth. The Canadian Trucking Association denounced the convoy.

00:17:04.380 Yeah. The Canadian Trucking Association, much like the Canadian Association of Journalists,

00:17:12.180 you know, just a mouthpiece for the government and for censorship. That's exactly what the

00:17:17.180 Trucking Alliance is. They're just a mouthpiece for the government. And, you know, they're just

00:17:22.560 a lobby group. They don't represent owner-operators. I bet you 99% of the truckers that converged on any

00:17:29.000 convoy are not members of this at all. And how sad that all those dummies in the mainstream media 0.73

00:17:36.980 at that press conference didn't make that the follow-up question. Well, Mr. O'Toole,

00:17:42.300 the Canadian Trucking Association doesn't represent these people. So what exactly are you saying? Oh,

00:17:47.340 no, no, no, no, no. Let's not be too impolite to this outgoing so-called leader. Oh my goodness.

00:17:54.240 Sheila, good riddance. Don't let the door slam on your backside. I am so happy that this guy is gone. 0.79

00:18:03.500 It should have happened months ago, namely on election night in September. At least it's not

00:18:09.660 as bad as the Andrew Scheer long goodbye. What was that, 11 months? All I hope is that all of O'Toole's

00:18:18.620 communications people and handlers are put in a big fishnet and thrown out the door at the same time

00:18:24.960 as him because they are absolutely terrible. They were the ones that likely coordinated that meeting

00:18:29.760 with the Canadian Trucking Alliance pro-liberal lobby group. They're the ones behind that. I don't

00:18:35.760 think O'Toole, I mean, he went along with it naturally, but they're the ones who would have

00:18:41.000 coordinated that. So round the whole lot of them up and run them out of politics and pray to God we

00:18:47.080 never see them again. But these people, they are not useful people. They'll be back again.

00:18:51.800 They'll be around sniffing around during the Ontario election. They'll be sniffing around out here in

00:18:57.860 Alberta during the upcoming Alberta election. But we should remember exactly who they are and exactly

00:19:03.560 what they've done. Excellent point, Sheila. I'm going to ask you this. His inner circle, because I

00:19:08.760 really think... Corey Hahn. Corey Hahn, who made me and my camera woman stand on a busy arterial road. He

00:19:16.820 lied about the property lie. Threw Alexa out. Threw Alexa out all over the place. Yep. And by the way,

00:19:23.160 that day, Corey Hahn said on camera, we have the footage, yeah, we'll be welcoming Mr. O'Toole tomorrow.

00:19:31.780 That was election night as the new prime minister. What a dolt. Anyways, that inner circle of woke 0.99

00:19:40.400 soy boys has to be eradicated. I hope they're not keeping the likes of Corey Hahn, because if they 1.00

00:19:48.700 are, we're going to go down this road once again, unless we have a leader with a true spine and says

00:19:55.320 to them, no, I'm not doing that. I'm not going further and further left. We've done that twice,

00:20:00.020 and it was a disaster. What are you trying to do? Give Trudeau another majority government?

00:20:05.340 Yeah. And really, I don't even know Corey Hahn as far as I could throw him. And he's a little

00:20:09.200 bigger than me, so I couldn't throw him very far. But I do know that in better times, he has checked

00:20:13.860 me in to conservative media events. He checked me into the last election night, wherein Andrew Scheer

00:20:20.560 lost. And he knew that I behaved myself, and we behaved ourselves, and we just did our job as

00:20:26.320 journalists. But this was a directive where we are constantly battling with the liberals for access

00:20:33.060 and journalistic access and free speech. And they thought, you know what, let's replicate that. Let's

00:20:39.040 be also the party that doesn't believe in the free press. They never offered the public anything

00:20:44.000 different than Justin Trudeau. And so they wonder why people didn't switch over from Justin Trudeau.

00:20:48.600 Well, and that is the problem. That was the problem of Erin O'Toole leading the conservative,

00:20:54.040 Sheila. It became the Me Too platform party when it came to liberal policies.

00:20:59.460 Yes, and.

00:21:00.380 I've got to tell you, I give credit where credit is due. If we go back to the last election campaign

00:21:04.480 in the fall of 20 or summer of 2021, Trudeau came out of the gates, had an awful week,

00:21:14.000 a disaster. And a lot of people said, don't judge a campaign by the first week, which is valid

00:21:20.620 advice. Then he had another awful week, two weeks in a row of awful gaps on the campaign trail.

00:21:28.180 Mr. O'Toole, on the other hand, had two solid weeks. He sounded like an ambassador. And then,

00:21:35.640 you know, I don't know what happened, Sheila. I liken it to, it's the guy on the high wire,

00:21:41.520 a hundred stories up. Halfway along and no problems. And then he decides to look down

00:21:48.080 and he goes, yikes, what am I doing here? Suddenly, O'Toole did those flip-flops. Carbon tax,

00:21:55.460 as you mentioned. The gun ban, as you mentioned. And it was almost like, Mr. O'Toole, what do you

00:22:01.220 stand for? And the answer was, I don't know. What do you stand for? That's what I stand for.

00:22:05.920 Yeah. It is the biggest mystery to me, how Trudeau stumbled out of the gate so badly,

00:22:13.060 two weeks in a short election campaign, and O'Toole did so superb. And then he blew it. He blew it. Why?

00:22:21.660 Oh, I don't know. But let's move on from Aaron O'Toole, because let's leave him in the dust

00:22:25.980 of history, of conservative history. And let's talk about the biggest story, I think,

00:22:32.140 in the world right now. And our Rebel News reporters on the Alberta border are just

00:22:36.960 absolutely owning it. As you said, the CBC, they are embedded with the police

00:22:42.300 at the border. And those ambulance chasers at the CBC are actively seeking out disgruntled people

00:22:51.520 who are having to wait on the sweetgrass side. But K2, Kian Simone, and Sid Fizard, we sent them

00:23:01.060 down to the border on Sunday night as things were sort of just popping off. By Sunday, what was a slow

00:23:07.760 roll past the border turned into a full-scale blockade. And we sent them down. It was like

00:23:14.880 blowing snow. It was dark. And the two of them just grabbed a change of clothes and all their

00:23:19.720 equipment, jumped in K2's little Honda Civic and drove down there. Kid needs a bigger car if he's

00:23:25.060 going to live in Alberta, by the way. But he's from Toronto, so it'll take him a year to learn.

00:23:29.920 But they drove down there. It's like four hours from Calgary to the border. And they've been there

00:23:34.060 ever since. We've had a lawyer there since Monday, Chad Williamson. You can support him and their legal

00:23:42.940 fees at truckerlawyer.ca. We hired them a lawyer to make sure they didn't get steamrolled by the cops

00:23:47.400 and their negotiations. And so it's been ongoing. There's a blockade there. So they're blocking

00:23:53.940 the border. But they are allowing emergency vehicles through local traffic and the school

00:24:03.080 bus through because that's the thing with some of these border communities is the community

00:24:07.180 itself isn't big enough to support a full school or a hospital or whatever, especially

00:24:12.020 in the prairies. The adjacent American community has some services and you have the other services

00:24:20.620 because there's not a lot of people. It's just two villages. And so last night, actually, I should go

00:24:27.720 back a little. The police have the entire community now at this point blockaded off. So the truckers are

00:24:35.200 blockading the border. But to prevent supporters of the truckers from coming in with supplies and

00:24:41.740 more trucks and more tractors and things like that, now they've basically cordoned off the whole

00:24:48.500 community. And yesterday, and they haven't been allowing people to come in. The police haven't.

00:24:54.380 But late last night, the police allowed a FedEx truck to roll through and another truck and another

00:25:00.000 truck. So while they're preventing supporters of the convoy from getting in, they are letting

00:25:05.140 commercial traffic go through and the truckers were limited. A farmer showed up and blocked off

00:25:11.980 now the road again so that commercial traffic can't get through. He drove up with his big

00:25:16.620 four by four tractor and just dropped his bucket so that because the police have been making

00:25:23.480 people who want to bring supplies in because they have the road blocked off now so that supporters

00:25:28.380 can't get in. People are having to walk in from Milk River. It was like minus 38 last night here.

00:25:34.120 And I imagine it's just as bad in southern Alberta where the wind is horrible.

00:25:39.480 They've been making them walk in with supplies from Milk River, which is kilometres up the road.

00:25:45.500 Sid, I think, went and walked it last night just to see how treacherous it is.

00:25:50.460 But they're letting commercial traffic through. And that's when things started to really heat up

00:25:54.340 last night. And so time will tell what shakes out at the border today. But rest assured,

00:26:00.780 we'll be covering it because we've got Sid and K2 there. And if you are in the area, would you mind

00:26:05.920 throwing a pair of socks over a police blockade at those kids? Because they went down with just one

00:26:11.180 change of clothes. And it was kind of like not minus 40 when they went down, although they're both from

00:26:17.340 Toronto. So I think they're learning a hard lesson here to always be prepared for like horrible weather if you're in Alberta.

00:26:22.180 But yeah, they could use a change of clothes, a shower and hot water. But they're doing the best

00:26:28.740 possible job they could do. And the whole world is watching them.

00:26:32.540 Wow. You know, Sheila, until you told me that, I didn't know both of them were camping in a Honda Civic.

00:26:36.780 I've had to sleep on assignments overnight in a Ford Fusion, which is bigger than a Civic.

00:26:41.840 I think they're sharing a hotel room at this point. Like they're sharing one bed. They were able to get

00:26:47.060 one bed. But basically, they're on location. And so they just go to the car and warm up. And like

00:26:54.260 the Chad, the lawyer has negotiated fuel to come in for both the trucks, but also the RVs that are

00:27:00.660 there because they're running out of propane and gas for the cars so that they can run. But they are

00:27:06.360 sleeping in one double bed because that's all they can get. And they don't they're running out of

00:27:11.380 clothes. But seriously, Sheila, isn't this amazing? The double standard when you talk about what the

00:27:19.260 protest is about and who the protesters are. Two years ago this month, we were into weeks, not days,

00:27:27.520 weeks of rail blockades in certain areas of Canada. And some of these blockades, I'll tell you,

00:27:33.960 in the Hamilton area, I came across the Antifa types. There were no natives, not not one. And yet,

00:27:40.640 was there any strangulation put on the conduits to prevent them from getting fuel, food, beverage,

00:27:50.160 you name it? Oh, no, medicine, medicine, not a chance. That would be very impolite. And the economy

00:27:57.200 was getting hammered to the tune of billions of dollars, billions. And we let these people get

00:28:05.820 away with it for weeks. And yet, in a few days, oh, what a calamity. Look what these truckers are

00:28:12.200 doing. We got to, you know, we got to starve them out. How do you square that, Sheila? 0.64

00:28:17.480 Yeah. Yeah. We should, Mr. Producer whispers in my ear, we should mention Jason Kenney and Scott Moe,

00:28:25.440 because the truckers are doing something quite incredible here. I think they are the catalyst

00:28:29.340 for tossing out Aaron O'Toole. I think that's what fractured the caucus, Aaron O'Toole. And Scott

00:28:36.940 Moe, as soon as the convoy started mobilizing through Saskatchewan, he was like, you know what,

00:28:41.640 we got to lift these restrictions right away. Right away. He's like, that's his come to Jesus

00:28:47.440 moment, is it? Yeah. When they started rolling through, he's like, ah, God, we got to, we got

00:28:52.740 to lift these restrictions. So he was an early adopter of a good idea here. Jason Kenney, he's

00:28:58.860 come out in support of the truckers in Ottawa, but he has said what the truckers are doing at the border

00:29:04.400 is illegal. However, in the span of about, I don't know what, I would say 48 hours, the timeline of

00:29:13.020 moving the restrictions back in Alberta has gone from the end of March to the end of February to a

00:29:21.780 couple of weeks to just a few days. Like last night, he said restrictions are rolling back in a few days.

00:29:27.300 So the truckers have just like moved everything back because Jason Kenney doesn't want to have

00:29:34.120 a happen to him. What just happened to Aaron O'Toole, because from what I understand, he's

00:29:39.720 facing a caucus revolt from the rural MLAs because the rural MLAs see, uh, our people are protesting us

00:29:47.160 at the border. We would like to keep our jobs, please. And thank you. These, every single one of

00:29:51.700 those guys, I guarantee you was a UCP voter. Every single one. Maybe there might've been some

00:29:56.420 separatist voters, but just, there's not a lot of those, um, in the provincial election. So every

00:30:01.700 single one was a UCP voter and the rural MLAs think, oh man, those are our people showing up

00:30:08.340 with trucks and tractors. Those aren't the city people. We need to make it clear that we are with

00:30:13.460 them. And now Jason Kenney has been told, okay, the rural MLAs are with the truckers. Jason Kenney

00:30:22.300 starts moving the timeline back. And now he comes out last night after saying what they're doing is

00:30:26.280 illegal. Also accusing them of assault, by the way, the other day said people allied with the

00:30:31.220 truckers have committed assault on a police officer. We were not able to confirm that anybody

00:30:36.700 was assaulted. There was a motor vehicle accident, an accident, by the way, it wasn't like a ramming or

00:30:43.660 anything like that. It was an accident. No cops were assaulted. So Jason Kenney is getting the story

00:30:48.780 wrong. And his MLAs are saying, you better do something here. We're in a world of trouble.

00:30:54.320 And so now Jason Kenney last night comes with his statement. I'm with you. I'm with you guys.

00:30:59.720 Why don't we roll some of that? Because it's ridiculous. Yes. 0.97

00:31:06.180 I should have called for it sooner.

00:31:07.780 Well-intentioned, law-abiding Canadians who are sick and tired of how COVID has turned their lives

00:31:14.680 upside down. They're frustrated with all kinds of public health measures. And in many are frustrated,

00:31:21.700 in particular, with the quarantine requirement for cross-border truckers. So to those folks who've

00:31:27.300 been out there trying to make that point peacefully and respectfully, thank you. Thank you for

00:31:33.460 using your democratic rights to do that. Thank you for sharing your passion and your frustration.

00:31:40.980 And I certainly hear you. To those here in Alberta who have participated in or supported some of these

00:31:49.920 protests, specifically, I want to say to them, I am very sympathetic. I'm leading a government that has

00:31:58.420 repeatedly been attacked for having treated restrictions as a last and limited resort.

00:32:03.780 Oh, he's the victim. He's the victim here.

00:32:10.740 This guy, you know, like, he's complaining, excuse me, my nose is running, about restrictions.

00:32:17.140 But I wonder if he could find the guy who could do something about them.

00:32:21.380 Yeah, Sheila, he's very sympathetic. I'm sure he baked the cake with a file in it to give to one of

00:32:27.060 those pastors in solitary confinement at a maximum security prison.

00:32:31.540 This guy.

00:32:32.900 You know, Sheila, it's amazing. I just want to pick up on some of the things you've said

00:32:37.460 vis-a-vis restrictions in the name of COVID-19 and borders. You know, in the last few weeks,

00:32:43.940 I've been watching the NFL playoffs, which, believe it or not, have been amazing nail-biting games.

00:32:49.380 But that's not the point. The point is, stadia in which the seating capacity approaches 80,000 people,

00:32:56.340 packed, cheek-to-jowl fans, no social distancing, no masks, right? And yet everything is A-OK.

00:33:05.780 And then you cross the border. And until very recently, if it was, say, a Raptors or Leafs game

00:33:12.500 at the Scotiabank Arena, the attendance, zero. And now they're allowed all of 500 people to come in

00:33:19.540 for a 20,000-seat arena. I mean, just imagine that. If you're in Windsor, you can look across

00:33:25.780 the border and see where the Red Wings and the Pistons play, and it's a full house. How does this

00:33:31.860 make any sense at all? Furthermore, story just came out. Jordan Peterson says this should be on every

00:33:41.220 front page newspaper. And it's from John Hopkins. And it's a study that finds the lockdowns had

00:33:49.540 0.2%. 0.2%, folks. So a percent of a percent effect on mortality. And yet, Sheila, I wonder,

00:34:00.820 what was the mortality rate for those suffering mental distress, people losing their business,

00:34:07.220 people cut off from their social circles that might have looked at self-harm?

00:34:13.700 It is, this is, I believe it has not been peer-reviewed. And I can't wait until it is.

00:34:21.300 But for two years, not two weeks to flatten the curve, Mayor John Tory, for two years, we went through

00:34:28.980 this garbage and it had a 0.2% effect on mortality. Shame on these leaders. It's all about what we've 0.98

00:34:39.780 always said here, Sheila, that this is much more than a virus. This is about control. This is about

00:34:47.780 politicians of every political stripe, municipal, provincial, state, federal, taking a little taste

00:34:55.940 of totalitarian power, as our boss Ezra Levent likes to say. And you know what? They really dig

00:35:00.820 that taste and they want more of that Kool-Aid. Yeah, this is about politicians figuring out who

00:35:07.140 they can and can't control. They're finding out they cannot control Albertans. We are the

00:35:12.420 ungovernables, which I'm perfectly fine with. But getting back to Jason, by the way, with that study

00:35:18.580 there, when they say, you know, talking about just how it literally, these lockdowns destroyed lives

00:35:26.420 and did nothing for the mortality rates, I can't wait to see when they actually do factor in the

00:35:31.860 deaths of despair. Because you know who commits suicide because of economic strife? Men. 0.98

00:35:38.660 Yeah. And you know, we live in a feminist society that really doesn't care about men 1.00

00:35:45.940 and their mental health. And so that's why it is really, it's truly the men, the blue-collar men

00:35:51.540 who are uprising. It's their lives on the line. Well then, thank God for the likes and Sheila,

00:35:56.420 Bell Canada, that every year has a Let's Talk Day in terms of mental health awareness. And this year,

00:36:04.020 a week after Let's Talk Day was Bell Canada's D-Day, which was to say that all their employees,

00:36:11.860 hundreds I assume, who did not get double jabbed, including those, and we have an interview,

00:36:16.420 I have an interview with one coming up. This lady worked exclusively 100% of the time in a home office. 1.00

00:36:22.900 If you don't get the jabs, you were fired. And they were all fired on February 1st. And late January,

00:36:27.700 it was Let's Talk. Geez, I wonder if Bell moved the Let's Talk Day so it wouldn't coincide with

00:36:33.380 uh February the 1st, just on Tuesday. And this particular lady, and there's many like her, 0.99

00:36:39.060 worked in a home office, Sheila. Um, never coming into contact with her co-workers or her clients

00:36:46.580 100% of the time. But uh, post Let's Talk Day, well uh, Bell isn't talking to you anymore. They hung up

00:36:54.340 uh, the phone and uh, gave her an economic death sentence. Uh, this is the society we live in because 1.00

00:37:02.660 where is the science? Where is the logic enforcing that particular employee out the door?

00:37:09.860 Yeah, and Jason Kenney, he's so sympathetic to us. He's so sympathetic. Well, you're literally the guy

00:37:16.100 who locked us down. You could open everything back up again. You're the guy. I don't want your sympathy.

00:37:21.300 I want my freedom back. And I'm gonna take it. That's the thing. I don't want his pity. I don't

00:37:26.020 want his sympathy. I don't want him to try to relate to me. Leave me alone and let me go. Um,

00:37:31.380 and when he says, oh, you know, our government has been attacked. How about my freedom? I don't care.

00:37:38.340 You're a politician. You're supposed to take political heat from the opposition party.

00:37:42.420 That's part of our adversarial parliamentary system. If you don't like it, get out of politics.

00:37:47.700 Give me back my freedom. You've attacked our freedom for 20 months or 22 months. I don't

00:37:53.860 care if your feelings are hurt as a politician. I really don't. And it's just like the conservative

00:37:58.420 premier in this province, Sheila, Ontario. I will scream if I hear Doug Ford announcing more

00:38:05.780 lockdowns, use the phrase, well, you know, folks, I'm all about small business. If I had my way,

00:38:12.100 I wouldn't do. Open for business. You're the premier. I mean, you're, you're the buck stops.

00:38:18.020 It's literally you're the, it's your way. It's your way. Whatever happens, it's your way. You're

00:38:22.260 the premier in a majority government. And Sheila, let us please all ignore that inconvenient sidebar

00:38:28.580 when it comes to premier Ford, that his business deco labels, they never shut down during the pandemic.

00:38:35.780 Because, you know, yeah, well, it's essential. We got, they're making, I presume, those directional

00:38:42.180 arrows for aisleways. So you don't, you know, pass somebody and get their COVID cooties, I suppose. But

00:38:49.540 it, this is who I have the most content for more so than Trudeau, Sheila, when conservative premiers

00:38:58.740 are going along this, because they're supposed to be our champion. They're supposed to be the

00:39:04.580 resistance to this. And they're all compliant. And suddenly now, well, they're waking up, aren't

00:39:11.300 they? Yeah. Scott Moe, he was, when that convoy rolled through Saskatoon, he was like, oh, time to open

00:39:19.060 up. It was like that afternoon, a press release was out saying restrictions are rolling back.

00:39:25.700 He, he just, at least he was like, quick on his feet with it. Jason Kenney, he had to be dragged

00:39:32.820 kicking and screaming by a bunch of truckers and farmers at the border causing economic havoc on

00:39:38.100 the meatpacking industry. But that's okay, they'll be fine. It's inexplicable. As you said earlier,

00:39:42.180 this is likely his very base. Unbelievable. Sheila, I know we're on limited time today. Do we have some

00:39:47.620 chats that we must get to? We definitely do. Yeah, we only have six minutes left in the show,

00:39:52.500 because we have a hard stop, because we have to, we have that press conference coming up.

00:39:56.740 And we want to make sure that everybody who's watching stay with us, because we're going to

00:40:00.420 be broadcasting a press conference from the convoy organizers in Ottawa. And of course,

00:40:05.540 you want to hear what they have to say, not what the mainstream media said they said.

00:40:09.780 This is the best way. Just hear it with your own ears and see it with your own eyes.

00:40:13.540 Okay, so let's get through this. We've got Annalisa, 1964. Annalisa's got Menzoid in the

00:40:18.580 bloodstream like an AstraZeneca clot. 20 bucks. Hello, sweet Menzies. I have missed you so much. 0.99

00:40:25.460 Sheila, you're amazing as always. Well, thank you so much.

00:40:28.820 Fraser McBurney with his caps locked on gives us five bucks. Every government and every political

00:40:33.140 party in Canada supported the mandates. With all the private information coming out,

00:40:36.980 when will these criminals be charged? Look at the damage they knowingly did. They're not

00:40:40.740 even going to get fired, let alone charged. I think nothing's going to come of this. They're

00:40:46.020 just going to open and just carry on with their lives and take their six-figure salaries

00:40:49.940 and just keep going. And they'll never be held accountable for all the damage they did to the

00:40:54.260 entire country. John N. Twissel, 20 bucks. In this day and age, all countries want a presentable

00:41:00.660 leader to be the face of their country. It's a vanity thing, good or bad. That's why Candace is the 0.55

00:41:05.860 only choice to get elected, Candace Bergen. The thing is, now that she's interim leader, 0.98

00:41:11.380 I don't think she's going to run for main leader, where usually the interim leader is just somebody

00:41:16.020 who's supposed to hold everything together while you do the other picking, which I think that would

00:41:21.700 have been an interesting race to see Candace and Pierre, and I don't know who would have been my

00:41:26.900 favourite, because Candace ticks a lot of identity boxes that the Liberals care about, and it would 1.00

00:41:34.340 be hard to attack her on certain things. But Pierre is true blue, and he's right on all the issues. So

00:41:40.900 it would have been an interesting race. I'd like to see who is going to run up against Pierre and lose.

00:41:45.220 That's my prediction. MKUltra gives us five bucks. Gotta love the optics of seeing the big FedEx

00:41:54.980 logo let through by the cops. True or not, it gives the impression that government only cares about big

00:42:00.180 business. Yeah, that's true. John N. Twissel gives us 10 bucks. David Rocks, I hope his wonderful

00:42:07.380 on-air partner is in isolation. I'm not sick. Really, I'm not sick.

00:42:11.860 I actually had a COVID test two days ago. It's not the cron. I'm not sick. It's fine. I have a

00:42:19.380 structural issue with my sinuses. It's not, I'm not sick. It's fine. I'm not coughing. I'm just

00:42:27.540 leaky. Grazer McBurdy gives us five bucks. Lie your, lie your pants on fire. I hope you're talking

00:42:33.780 about Jason Kenney. Because yeah, there's a five alarm cotton Dockers fire happening underneath

00:42:40.500 from, from like the waist down on Jason Kenney. Uh, MKUltra gives us six bucks. Whatever happens,

00:42:48.340 Kenny has to go. He's proven that he's weak and can't be trusted. Uh, I don't, yeah. I mean,

00:42:54.340 if they're going to replace him, they got to do it right now. Like right now. Cause, uh, uh,

00:42:59.460 Rachel Notley, she's fishing around already. She's already talking about, you know, like all of a sudden

00:43:05.720 she cares about small businesses and she's like, oh, you know, like look at the damage being done 1.00

00:43:09.480 to small businesses by Jason Kenney, not dealing with the border problem. She cares about small

00:43:13.880 businesses now. She would have you believe. Uh, let's keep going. Uh, Georgie Georgie gives us

00:43:20.280 one buck. The truckers forced everyone's hand, which I'm happy to see. Welcome back. David couldn't

00:43:25.480 have come back at a better time. Yeah. It's all hands on deck here at Rebel News. I'm glad David's back.

00:43:29.880 Oh, and I'm so happy too. And by the way, if anyone's in the Ottawa area, I will be going, uh,

00:43:35.880 to Ottawa leaving on tomorrow with, uh, our ACE shooter Maurizio. So, uh, I hope to see our, uh,

00:43:43.240 friends and fans there. Okie doke. Rod, Ron, you're going to have fun there. I'm going to see if I can get 0.98

00:43:52.440 down to coots. I feel like those are my people. I would fit right in there. I'd be perfectly fine.

00:43:58.120 Show up on my insulated coveralls, um, from the trucking company my husband works for. It'll be

00:44:02.520 great. Uh, Rod, Ron gives us 10 bucks. Jason Kenney's a pansy boo hoo. Doug Ford has too much

00:44:08.120 cheesecake. I'm sure weighing scales is not allowed in Queens Park. There's so many other things to

00:44:16.760 attack those two for, um, lean dog, just so many, uh, lean dog, 20 bucks. The police and government

00:44:25.240 officials work for we, the people film and record everything because the camera doesn't lie. Like

00:44:29.720 Trudeau's funded lapdog, fake news media, hold the line. We support you. Isn't that the truth? 0.97

00:44:34.920 I always think about Nick Sandman, that kid, his life was on a fast track to being destroyed. Now

00:44:41.640 he's a very wealthy man. Once the whole video came out in context and that is the benefit of recording

00:44:48.440 everything, especially when you have the lying mainstream media around you. A hundred percent.

00:44:54.600 Trini Canadian, he gives us $2. Could this be Canada's great awakening? AD play the video from

00:45:00.600 the convoy. I don't know. Can you do that or no? We'll do it later. I think we have to free up.

00:45:07.800 He says he'll try to close the show with it. I hopefully you watch it first before we broadcast

00:45:14.840 something inappropriate. Um, gee, sorry. I, my face is really sore, so I can't wear my glasses. So I'm

00:45:22.760 just squinting my way through this. G M E Lindag 60. I'm sorry. I really can't see it. I have 0.99
